House Adjourns as Dems' Chaotic Sit-in Halts Business[/URL]
{
This year Democrats erased the Second Amendment from their platform, reverting to the approach they took in 2000 and earlier. The
2016 platform mentions "the rights of responsible gun owners" but says nothing about the extent of those rights or the legal basis for them.
The Second Amendment's excision from the Democratic platform is consistent with Clinton's opinion that
District of Columbia v. Heller, the 2008 case in which the Supreme Court recognized that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to armed self-defense, was "
wrongly decided." At the very least, that position means Clinton thinks the Second Amendment does not guarantee the right to use guns for self-defense in the home, since the law overturned in
Heller made it impossible to exercise that right.
But Clinton's disagreement with the Supreme Court seems to go even further. In an
interview last June, ABC's George Stephanopoulos pressed her to say whether "an individual's right to bear arms is a constitutional right." She repeatedly dodged the question.
"If it is a constitutional right," Clinton said, "then it, like every other constitutional right, is subject to reasonable regulation." She seemed to be saying that she does not believe people have a constitutional right to firearms but that even voters who do believe that should be OK with her gun control proposals.
Those proposals provide further reason to doubt Clinton's sincerity. She
wants to ban so-called assault weapons, repeal the federal law that shields gun suppliers from legal liability for criminal misuse of their products, create new categories of people who are legally disqualified from owning firearms, and extend the federal background check requirement to all gun transfers.}
Democrats Erase the Second Amendment
The Supreme Court has never ruled as to the Constitutionality of measures placing restrictions on firearms such as AR platform rifles.
It is a lie that democrats are ‘hostile’ to ‘gun rights,’ it is a lie that democrats advocate ‘confiscating’ guns, and it is a lie that democrats don’t support the Bill of Rights.
All you and others on the right have are lies.
It's a fact that democrats are hostile to gun rights as well as freedom of speech, the press, and religion.
Heller was a huge blow to you leftists, one that a Clinton packed court will reverse. Once a corrupt court declares that gun ownership is NOT an individual right and only applies to government, what do you thugs intend to do?
As I said, i will not comply. I suspect that a great many beside me will not comply.
